Gellert Grindelwald has escaped imprisonment and has begun gathering followers to his cause—elevating wizards above all non-magical beings. The only one capable of putting a stop to him is the wizard he once called his closest friend, Albus Dumbledore. However, Dumbledore will need to seek help from the wizard who had thwarted Grindelwald once before, his former student Newt Scamander, who agrees to help, unaware of the dangers that lie ahead. Lines are drawn as love and loyalty are tested, even among the truest friends and family, in an increasingly divided wizarding world.

Great Afternoon Movie

Disappointed

WTH?
The first movie in this series was good, but I can't believe the direction of this sequel. I didn't understand the plot of this film and it was all over the place. Highly disappointed.

Visual ambien.

This movie was so boring. The storyline was a mess. I think Johnny Depp was playing Billy Idol. I will never get the time back I spent watching this steaming pile. I wish I had a wand to make this movie disappear.

Overly complex and Boring

By Charlesvania

All of the charm of Harry Potter is gone. This movie is all plot and its not even interesting! It was painful to get through this movie. There were a couple of interesting CGI scenes but that’s literally it. Even the most die hard Harry Potter fans should skip this
